Help My Headlight Went Out

And I tested the bulb so it's not that, and the fuse is fine also. My buddy said the plug in connection might be bad. But before I start cutting up wires can anybody provide some expertise? I also called a shop and they want 30 bucks to look at it and then they'll start charging me once they find out the problem. I don't want to fork over money if the job is simple.

let me guess... you were using higher wattage bulbs... if so then you melted your harness...

I'm not sure I'll have to check. aftermarket bulbs are higher then stocks anyway so maybe. Damn now I have to buy a harness. I'm going back to stock bulbs

Its propably melted headlight socket. Check the GND connector. I had the same situation last week. If so just buy new socket from Pep Boys and replace it
